Shear Force is, put simply, used in calculations for "cutting"-
if you slice a human in half, that's Shear Force. Additionally, if
you cut the top of a mountain off, that's also Shear Force.
Normally its used in situations where a beam is cut (as in a real
life use) so... a calculator for it is rare. As in nonexistant. I
tried to find one, but it was not possible. So in case I forget,
it's just a little of a reminder blog.

Shear Force = Area Sheared x Shear Stress

Shear Stress is Tensile Strength of the Material x 0.6. Area
sheared is measured in meters squared.

For example, Multi-City Block level feat was done for Bugs Bunny
cutting off the state of Florida.

Here are some common Tensile Strengths. Tensile Strength should
be measured in MPa.…

Just a blog containing all my helpful calculators I use for
calcs. Technically I could just write out the work myself, once you
know the calculations they aren't hard really, it's just I'm a lazy
bum and calculating this way is easier.

This blog is based on my little recent upgrade for D&D
characters, which I have shown to be Subsonic based on their
ability to dodge nearby arrows. This means the speed needs a
reworking. This is just for normal travel speed- not reactions, not
combat, just movement.

For this, we will compare the Adventurer's movement speed
normally (30 ft / round) to compare. This 30 ft per round
translates to 54.70 m/s.

A lot of this you're just gonna have to bear with me here for.
In D&D it is possible (even extremely easy) to dodge point
blank arrows, fired from bows, composite bows, or crossbows. That
said, point blank would be a few feet, as each "block" is 5 feet.
So... probably 2.5 feet (half a block) if they are right next to
each other. Let's check it out.

The Giant Elsen is a big boy, dunno how big he would be, though.
This is just a mini-calc because I'm bored.

Average height for a male head is 23.9 cm. We'll use this image.
442.15 cm is the height of the Elsen's head. It is 18.5x larger
than the Batter's head. Average height for a male is 177 cm, and we
can assume the Elsen is 18.5x larger than this, too, assuming it is
proportional. The Elsen is 3274.5 cm tall (32.75 meters). This
makes him almost eleven stories.

Continued from here and here. But what spells shall we look at
today, to better understand our general power level of the verse?
In fact, we will look at relatively low-level spells for now. As
in, spells of difficulty levels 3-5.

Control Winds (Level 5)

Erupting Earth (Level 3)

Melf's Minute Meteors (Level 3)

Storm Sphere (Level 4)

Wall of Fire (Level 4)

Wind Wall (Level 3)

So. Let's begin.

Control Winds is a wind-based transmutation spell (Level 5) that
alters the winds of a 100 cubic foot cube. It is powerful enough to
ragdoll Adventurers.

Quazar Dragons are Dragons with mouths 28260 km wide. We want to
calculate their overall size- one, we need to discover the size to
get a proper AP for them. Two, we want to see how powerful the
avatars of the Gods are- for each scale of Asgorath is the size of
this one dragon. So let's compare.

We will compare the Quasar Dragon to the Red Dragon, the most
common of the dragons in D&D. This is an image of a Red Dragon
with its mouth open. Maw is sort of ambiguous, so this will have to
do. Comparing the maw to the horn, we get 45198 km.

So, we'll get a full body image for our full-on comparison. We
get 289279 km in total (adding length of tail). By right of sheer
size, this makes the dragon Large Planet level (it's
length alone is many times l…

According to this, it is believed the Gods took a star from the
skies and plunged it into the Sea of Fallen Stars in order to
punish the Titans. This is believed to have been the event that
caused Dragonkind to be born. For whatever godly reason, this
didn't just instantly burn the planet to a crisp, but we're going
to look past that because Verraketh the Shadowking (the guy who
killed Terpenzi) was powered by a full on star that crashed into
the planet- so this shit has happened before.

NOTE: I'm aware that canonically the story could be taken
several ways, pretty much up to DM choice. I believe one is where
the Gods simply created a new planet, and another where two planets
clashed together. But we're looking at this version to get an
id…

I've got no interest in the verse but an interest in getting
requests done. Yobobojojo asked for this. Let's just get it over
with, pretty easy.

So. Assuming Legos are human height here. Meaning average height
for a male- about 171 cm, according to a quick Google search (5.6
feet). That is our height for perception. Plug that into this
calculator, we get 4.7 kilometers to the Horizon.

Plugging in these measurements, we get a volume for a cylinder
of 6.35 x 10^11 cubic meters. Right. Weight is 6.369 x 10^11
kg. Based on this blog, we will use a low-end and a
high-end.

It only looks like a strong wind storm, so we'll say as a
low-end we use the smallest value (1 kJ/kg), and the second value
for t…

The Kraken can sink ships easily. Let's get an estimate on that,
shall we? Since I'm on the Pirates train (boat?) already.

We never get a great view on the ship's view where it can be
compared to anything, so this will be VERY general. Pirate Ships
averaged in weight at about 1000 tons. Plugging this into the
Weight to Volume calculator, using the Pecan wood volume (its the
closest to normal wood), we get a volume of 1204760956.18 cubic
centimeters.

We know from a previous blog that it takes 0.148 j/cc to
fragment wood. Multiplication time. We get 1.783 x
10^8 Joules, or Room level.

However, a ship is not all wood- according to that website, a
ship could have upwards of 70 guns (cannons) on it. Cannons weighed
about 1500kg. So 105000 kg of s…

Continued from here. This time, we'll look at a handful of
different spells, including...

Meteor Swarm

Prismatic Wall

Earthquake

Move Earth

Control Weather

This 9th level spell summons meteors from the sky. Powerful
stuff, right? Let's see how strong that is. We know that it summons
four meteors, and that they are actually meteors. We will assume a
low-end and a high-end for the spell- one for coming from space,
one for simply coming from the atmosphere.

All of these are 40-ft in radius, meaning we have a total volume
for each meteor of roughly 7.59 x 10^9 cubic centimeters. We have
four of these. We'll use Aqua Calc to convert this value for stone.
Since we don't know the composition or type of stone, we'll use
"common generic" to get a mass of …

Ok, so, some time ago (and by some time, I mean months, like,
last year) I made this blog about some My Little Pony revision,
that was when the characters became Massively Hypersonic.

One of the main things on that blog was an upgrade from the top
tiers and god tiers of the verse to Tier 4, which was approved,
however, was never added, because we still need to decide on who
scales to it and who doesn't.

I made a small summary of the powerscaling on the verse, but
that got ignored (probably because it wasn't detailed enough), so,
since I'm probably the only person on this wiki who is familiar
with the verse, I decided to make this to see if we finally can get
this done.

Tier 4 My Little Pony has already been accepted, this blog is
just here so…

This rabbit hole leads nowhere. Somebody is trying to use
whatever value I find for a justification for a ranking of over
High 6-A (31.9 petatons). Let's just see where it goes considering
turning a Mountain to ash is considered 6-C.

As a high end, the average house has a square footage of 980.7
feet per person in the house, and there are an average of 2.58
people per house, meaning average square footage is 2530.206 ft^2
(assuming a square base, this means the base is 50.301 x 50.301
feet.

The average house has two regular stories and an attic (the
attic will be a different area volume).

A storey is considered to be about 10 feet (304.8 cm). So... our
volume of a rectangle is finished, with 50604.12 ft^3 as our final
tally, or 1.433 x 10^9 c…

The average height of a Japanese Blue Oak is 40 feet at most, or
914.4 cm.

Comparing this to the crater, we get 4632 cm in radius (46.32
meters). The width of the middle is 538.64 cm (5.39 meters). It is
670.56 cm tall (6.71 meters). This appears to be an ovoid shape, so
we will get the volume of an ovoid and halve it, with the major and
minor axis being equal (double the radius- 9264 cm) and with a
vertical axis equal to double the height of the cylinder in the
middle (1341.12 cm) to get a volume of 6.027 x 10^10 cubic
centimeters. We need to halve this to get 3.013 x 10^10.

There's always been a lot of talk about Kirito freezing an army
of players in the Alicization Arc of SAO.

They talk about it at VSBW here. Specifically, here.

I've seen this talked about before with specifically that
number, 30,000 players. I've got nothing to prove its real because,
based on statements from a Reddit user named u/MoSBanapple (the guy
who made most of the SAO Respect Threads), the feat exists towards
the end of the Alicization arc that remains untranslated and may
never even be implemented into the light novels, since the arc
started as internet web stories. I'm gonna pretend he's correct as
he knows a helluva lot more than me. Easy calc, though.

Ainex234 asked for this to be calc'd. The bomb itself seems
REALLY simple to calc, the environmental destruction is more of
what should be looked for but eh, he asked for the bomb and I'm not
in the mood for a complicated calc.

Easy. Let's do it.

According to Ainex, the bomb is stated to have reached Escape
Velocity. Escape Velocity is 11.2 km/s (11,200 m/s).

So speed is done.

Mass of the bomb time.

The casing of bombs are made of iron. We'll use this as a
general material as we don't know what the inside is made
of.

We just need to find the volume now. For this, we will use this
frame. We will compare the size of the gentleman here to the size
of the bomb.

First off, volume. To get height we will compare Koopa to the
Building and that to the Wave.

We know Koopa is 120 cm tall.

These are our images.

Comparing the height of the Koopa to the Building on the corner,
we get 296.66 cm.

Then using that corner to compare to the highest part of the
building, we get a total height of 585.34 cm from the ground to the
tallest part of the building.

Finally, the wave. We cannot get a solid height as we never see
the wave in its entirety. That said, we can get a baseline by
simply comparing the height of the building to the height of the
screen that the wave appears on. We get a height of 1347 cm
solid.

I literally just did a calc for Didact throwing Chief here.
However, a more impressive feat happens- Didact very casually melts
the barrier standing between himself and Chief.

Using these images. All we need to do is get the
volume.

First off, we know Chief is 2.13 meters tall. This is higher
than world average, which is 1.77 meters, by 120%.

We use this so much we should just save it, but we know the
height of a head is 23.9 cm.

Multiply this by 120% to get 28.7 cm for the height of Chief's
head (assuming it is proportional). We know that the barrier is
about as tall as a ducked-over Chief, so we will compare his head
to his height while crouching. See the third image for an example.
We get a total height of 167.30 cm for a crouched over …

Continued from this calc, although on there I only did the feat
of creating the Maelstrom, which is probably a bit low since we
can't get a definite depth for the whirlpool.

So... let's go.

This blog will be our companion for now.

We will also use the distance to horizon calculator provided in
said blog. Now, it is fairly difficult to tell how high up the
camera is in this scenario, so instead, we will estimate. We know
we are fairly far above all of the ships in all screens and the
storm still stretches to the horizon.

We will use this image for our reference.

The ship masts are about 159 feet (4846.32 cm).

We get a height of 22481.56 cm (224.8156 meters). Plugging this
into the calculator we get a horizon distance of 53.6 kilometers.
We ca…

Soldier Blue of VSBW requested a calc on a couple of images from
the Star Wars comics. The images show a natural pillar-shaped
boulder getting destroyed by multiple blaster shots.

I already did this, but my laptop crashed, so RIP. Here comes
the redo.

In the 4th frame of the in the first image, we see the exact
area of destruction. Han Solo is, according to Blue, officially 1.8
meters tall- just about average. We'll assume he has, therefore, an
average sized head, and use that as our baseline for
distance.

The average male head is 23.9 cm tall.

Comparing this to the left side, the left side is 83.37 cm long.
For all intents and purposes, this will be called "side
a".

The line between the lower left angle and the upper right angle
in the sa…

Whirlpools are cone-like in shape, so we will use that for the
volume.

So. First, measurements. The video provided, seen here, never
gives a good measurement. Specifically, we're looking for a
comparison of the ship to the maelstrom.

Pirate ships varied in size, but since these are relatively
large ones, we will use the high end- 124 feet in length. I can
find one semi-suitable screenshot for comparison.

It's sort of blurry, but we can compare the length of the
singular ship on the left to the width of the whirlpool. It comes
out to 156.51 feet in width (4773.473 cm). Halve that for a radius
of 2386.737 cm.

So, I've been wanting to check out some spells from D&D for
awhile. WeeklyBattles of VSBW has a blog here, but there are MANY
spells in the verse (hundreds to thousands in official canon). I
wanna check out a few, and I'll probably do more later.

Specifically, I will cover the following:

Sphere of Annihilation

Flaming Sphere

Energy Vortex

Acid Breath

Greater Fireball

Blast of Flame

So. Let's go.

Alright, any users of this spell are automatically INCREDIBLY
powerful. Anything that it touches is immediately destroyed, sucked
into a void and practically wiped from existence. Our information
comes from here.

So, we know the sphere is two feet in diameter. So we have a
radius of 1 foot (30.48 cm). Plugging this into the sphere volume
calculation, we ge…

Request from Paulo requested I look into a calc where Johnathan
Joestar vaporizes Tarkus until nothing is left (except for his
armor). Seems simple. Now, Tarkus is a larger fellow, so calcing
this will be... interesting.

Here we see Johnathan initiating the vaporization. We can also
compare their heights.

We will use their heads. The average height of a human head is
23.9 cm, so we'll round to 24.5 because Johnathan is a bit bigger
than the average male (by a few inches). We know Joestar's height
from here, 195 cm.

Using the first image, comparatively, Tarkus' head is 34 cm
tall. His head is 139% of Johnathan's height, so we will assume he
is 139% of his overall height of 195 cm.

So on VSBW, Banjo-Kazooie characters are literally considered
Mountain level for being able to destroy Spiral Mountain. My issue
with that is, the mountain is literally the smallest mountain I
have ever seen in a video game. It's small. These images will be
used.

So. Let's try this.

First off, I'll be using ImageJ to get comparisons. Like I said
on those images, I'll compare Banjo (a brown bear) to the height of
the flying onion, which I will then compare to the height of the
cliffside, which I will then compare to the height of the
mountain.

Right then.

Banjo is a Brown Bear. We will use the average height of a brown
bear, 5 feet at the shoulder (152.4 cm).

Comparing this height to the Onion in the third picture on the
Imgur page, we get 297…

Goomba is getting love today. Mark it on the calendar. March 1st
is Goomba day.

Paulo found a supporting feat for Wall level Goomba aside from
my last calc.

In this video, Goomba destroys a boulder with two hits. Let's
see if this is supporting enough, eh?

Using our last image we can compare the Goomba to Yoshi, who is
just as tall as Mario- 155 cm (see last calc). From this, we get
98.64 cm tall for Goomba. Using a screen from the video, seen here,
we can compare the Goomba's height to that of the
Boulder's.

The boulder appears largely egg shaped, so we will use this
calculator to discover volume. But first! Measurements!Comparing
the Goomba's height to that of the Boulder's, we get 189.70 cm.
Comparing the boulder's height to that of the e…

In this blog I calc'd strength needed to crush the rock in
Tetsucabra's mouth. Kulu-Ya-Ku has a similar feat, so I'll calc
that here as a little side note thing.

Once again we'll be comparing the Kulu's boulder to the size of
the Hunter. This one is relatively small, so I'm not expecting
anything big from this.

We'll be using this frame for comparison.

Using ImageJ to compare size, we get 3.66 feet for the diameter
of the boulder (111.557 cm). Halving this and plugging into the
equation for a volume of a sphere, we find the volume is roughly
7.270 x 10^5 cubic centimeters.

So we have mass. Now we need speed. You know, the actual hard
part that took me a long time before my computer was savagely
attacked.

Using a frame by frame analysis tool and with this gif (captured
from the video), we see the attack start at the 19th frame and
impact comes a bit later. By frame 22 it has moved considerable
distance. We can then compare that to the Hunter's roll, which was
at 30 mph and going the same way.

Barroth can shatter boulders like these. Comparing to the tree
(which is full sized), this is a BIG boulder.

So. Let's check this out.

Height is ~20 feet (609.6 cm) when compared to the
tree.

When compared, diamater is 18.37 feet (559.918 cm). Looks more
cylindrical to me, so we'll be using that as our shape basis.

Our volume is found to be 1.501 x 10^8 cm^3

Now. Barroth clearly destroys nearly all of the Boulder, so I'd
say Violent Fragmentation is the definition of this- much of the
rock becomes simply dust, while the rest can be found in small
fragments around the place.

We'll use Concrete as a Low-End, and Cement as a High-End
(Low-End more likely but eh whatever)

Assuming Uragaan emits flame roughly one meter out from his form
and up to about one meter in height (the flame reaches your head
when crouching). This is an extremely lazy write-up for this, but
I'm trying to do this ASAP.

We find from here that Fire has a density of 0.3
kg/m^3.

Our dimensions for affected area is 2629.18 x 549.16 x 100
centimeters (width taken from Lavasioth width and modified to make
sense in this context). So our volume is 144384048.88
centimeters cubed.

Lavasioth generates lava. Big splosions, paths, etc. Lava is
melted rock, so we'll be using 5,000 j/cc (taken from this calc, in
which a similar feat was done- lava generation). Moving on. Just
wanna see how powerful this attack is and if it fits where I
estimate it to fit.

We've already established 5,000 j/cc as our baseline for Lava
generation, which means all we have to do is discover
volume.

First off, ground area. For this, we'll use Lavasioth's body
length- it generates ~2.5x it's length as it moves that amount for
the attack. Attack can be found in this video (along with his other
attacks such as spitting lava). Note that this attack I'm calc-ing
is EXTREMELY casual. Since it is just a path, we'll assume one inch
as the height of the…

Alien Alloys and other materials they create are notated time
and time again to be vastly above any Earth material in terms of
durability. This is what the XCOM operatives create their armor out
of down the road, so this seems relavant. However, I'm not all that
interested in the armor- I'm interested in shattering walls made
out of this material.

We have no definite basis for how strong these materials are
(materials can be found here and here.

As for values we should use. The people here seem to think 5x
stronger is a good basis, however that will be our mid-end. I'll be
including a high-end (20x) and a low-end (3x). We have no idea on
the accuracy for any of these, but... you know. It's a start. We
will use steel as it is the most equat…

Basically, this thing is a badass weapon and needs a
calculation. Described as an "outdoor toy", it destroys pretty much
anything within its radius, up to and including huge portions
of UFOs. Even soldiers on the outermost rim of the explosion will
be killed (probably). Anything closer to the epicenter, unarmored,
is almost certainly doomed to die.

This is my first calc of this kind, so bear with me. My
apologies if it is wrong. Let's begin.

This should be simple enough, much like all of my calcs. I am a
calc noob, after all.

So, from that page I linked above, we find that the blast radius
is 11 "blocks", which look to me like meters. Here's an image, for
reference.

Basically, plug in this value of 11.5 meters (the shot from the
Blaster La…

Deathwing, AKA Neltharion, Dragon Aspect of the Earth, shattered
it with his "Cataclysm", an event that caused notable changes all
throughout the world. Basic information of it can be found here. So
while he didn't exactly "shatter" it, he caused ruptures and base
level damage all over the place, including awakening places in the
ocean and forming enormous mountains.

Multiple country sized ares were destroyed beyond recognition or
permanently altered in some major way (that is, some were
completely submerged in water, or ripped in half- these in of
themselves are 6-B feats, but let's see how much fracturing the
planet fares for our Draconic buddy, hm?

(Note: I know this is a simplified way of doing this and it should
be done with a huge li…

Pretty simple. Ragnaros, the head honcho of the Fire Elementals
and follower of Deathwing, is stated to burn mountains down with
his very presence. Sounds like a helluva feat and right now he's a
mere Mountain level, possibly Large
Mountain level because of it. I'd like to see if we can't
change that.

Assumption wise, here's what we're looking at.

1. The mountain in question is comparable to Mount Everest and
is composed of granite

2. Melting is vaporization due to the presence of steam rising
in the aftermath

Pretty simple stuff. We can pull the values we need from here,
we will use three values here based on estimations from various
mathematical minds.

First off, value for vaporization of granite
is 6077872j/kg. So multiplication is basical…

Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, best known for his
starring roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of
theatrical short films produced by Warner Bros. during the Golden
Age of American Animation.

Also, thanks for DoctorMooDB on Deviantart, for making the Bugs
Bunny bio that I used to find those feats. I was mostly just
looking for the sources.

Can make a shotgun backfire with his finger. (Source: Bugs

I know that this is typically counter-intuitive to what this
wiki would stand for. But hear me out. I find this to be valid
becuase Challenge Rating is used in the D&D setting to describe
how difficult a foe should be for a group of four adventurers of
that level, meaning a similar CR is a statement of "this enemy is
equatable to this enemy". Moving on. Note that these are 3.5e
Challenge Ratings- for example, 5e Challenge Ratings are vastly
lower (a CR 7 beast in 3.5e would be roughly a CR 2 in
5e).

In this blog I will include where on the actual Dungeons and
Dragons page this places them, by tier.

So. This is something I've been looking at. Currently only a
handful of feats define the D&D-verse, up to and including the
Vecna feat of harmi…

This blog is being made to describe which Dark Souls characters
exist in which tiers, and explaining why. This is more of an
organization blog than anything else, just to keep the reasons for
characters being placed at their tiers. Most of this is scaling,
and most weapons and such will be omitted as their tiers are
derived from their user's AP (save for rare exceptions such as the
Archdragon Bell).

Overall, the verse is relatively well-collected up to 6-B or
High 6-B (potentially). That said, after this it jumps up to Tier
4. So... let's go.

Beginning of Game Ashen One, Beginning of Game Chosen Undead,
Beginning of Game Bearer of the Curse: All are able to use spells
such as Chaos Storm and other pyromancies, which can melt stone and
gene…

Before we start I'd like to state that I am not an MLP fan. At
all. I dislike it profusely. Buuuut this feat needs calc'd, since I
disagree largely with what we have right now and with what VSBW
has. Dodging lightning? Great feat. Good basis. Solid. This is my
first time trying to calc speed based off of things like singular
frames, so forgive me. I have literally almost no tools to do this
with. I'm using the computer's calculator and a frame dissection
thing.

Anyways. Calc.

Here we see Rainbow Dash dodge lightning at point blank range.
Using this, we can get a pretty good understanding of her speed-
and I do consider it reaction and movement speed purely because she
manages to act on this INSTANTLY. I do not consider it a feat of
aim dodg…

So, Hasbro messed up once again and leaked some episodes from
Season 8 before they were supposed to be released. So, I watched
them one by one, and was going to write a list of feats, but then I
decided to just go ahead and add some other feats from past
episodes, so here we go.

Windigos are a race of ghostly horse-like creatures, they are
winter spirits that feed off of the fighting and hatred between
others and create blizzards and freezing weather.

The feat is pretty straight up:

"Then... this is our fault. We three tribes... we brought this
blizzard to our home by fightin' and not trustin' each other. Now
it's destroyin' this land, too."
